About this listen

Edie Burchill and her mother have never been close, but when a long lost letter arrives with the return address of Milderhurst Castle, Kent, printed on its envelope, Edie begins to suspect that her mother’s emotional distance masks an old secret. Evacuated from London as a 13-year-old girl, Edie’s mother is chosen by the mysterious Juniper Blythe, and taken to live at Milderhurst Castle with the Blythe family.

Fifty years later, Edie too is drawn to Milderhurst and the eccentric Sisters Blythe. Old ladies now, the three still live together, the twins nursing Juniper, whose abandonment by her fiancé in 1941 plunged her into madness. Inside the decaying castle, Edie begins to unravel her mother’s past. But there are other secrets hidden in the stones of Milderhurst Castle, and Edie is about to learn more than she expected. The truth of what happened in the distant hours has been waiting a long time for someone to find it.

In love❤️

Kate Morton is one the few authors, whom I know the least I will ever give is 4 stars. Her endings always mangers to make me cry always!
And Her writing always manages to pull on my heart strings. Even though I didn't love the story, it deserves a four stars for the writing. I could read a dictionary written by this woman, my favourite thing in the books were the characters, her books are sometime a little too long, but trust me when i say you can never go wrong with a Morton book. You may not like the story but you will end up enjoying the read.
